The University of South Dakota’s men’s and women’s track and field teams traveled to Tempe, Ariz. this past weekend to kick off their outdoor season to begin their first ever run at competing at the NCAA Division I outdoor track and field championships.

Women’s

During the meet, sophomore pole vaulter Bethany Buell broke the USD outdoor pole vault record with a 13-2 1/4 jump, more than four inches over the old record, while sophomore Alexa Duling just missed breaking the school record in the 400-meter hurdles by .33 seconds, running a time of 1:00.58. Both Buell and Duling claimed first place for the women’s team.

Other notable performances by members of the women’s team include Junior Emma Erickson’s second place finish in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:09.98, just .49 seconds behind the first place winner. Erickson was also part of the women’s 4 x 400-meter relay team who placed fourth with a time of 3:55.29 with sophomores Ashley Sveum and Duling and junior Brittany Chambers.

In the field events senior Jasmine Mosley placed second in the shot put, throwing 46-7 1/4. In addition, the women’s team had two top-five finishes in the javelin throw. Freshman Tansha Clarke placed fourth throwing 113-3, while senior Crystal Schiernbeck placed fifth with a throw of 108-2.
